THE COAL FIELDS.
[From the Cornhill Magazine.
a
of
A mistaken impression is
somewhat widely prevalent that,
in the coal-fields, we have the
remains of ancient forests in
other words, it is sunnosed tli.nt,
' - ir
wherever there was a forest in
primeval times there now exists
a coal-field of greater or less
extent. In connection with
this view, also, the opinion is
entertained that the forests
now in existence will, in the
process of time, and after, due
geological changes, become the
coal-beds of future ages. But,
although, as we shall presently
see, the coal-fields are undoubt
edly due to the vegetation of
fc'TTier eras, it is far from being
the case that the primeval for
ests became converted in a
general way into coal. Condi
lions of a peculiar, and to some
extent exceptional character
were requisite for the forma-
tJon of COtll fields.
If we con
sider the evidence given by the
coal-fields themselves, we shall
see what these conditions were

of the whole mass. Thus it
ias been estimated, Sir Charles
yell tells us, that in South
Wales the thickness of the
carboniferous strata amounts in
all to between 11,000 and 12,-
000 feet (or more than two
miles), "but the various coal
seams do not," according to
rofessor Phillips, "exceed in
he aggregate 120 feet," or less
than one-hundreth part of the
whole. In North Lancashire
he carboniferous strata occupy
i depth of more than three
miles. Hero, no fewer than
eighty seam of coal have been
counted (seventy-one having
been exposed by the action
he sea); but these seams are
nowhere more than five feet in
thickness, and many arc but
ew inches thick. Thus, it is
evident that the formation
coal can have been in progress
but a short portion of the time
during which the carboniferous
series of strata was in process
of deposition. Throughout by
far the greater portion of that
time other minerals were being
deposited. It is next to be no
ticed that under each coal soam
a stratum of ancient soil exists,
in which there are commonly
found the roots of ancient trees,
while above the coal there
commonly a layer of shale
sandstone, in which not unfre
quently the trunks of those
trees are iounu eituer laiien

and only partially converted
into coal. The bark remains

This can only have happened
wLeu some subsidence of
soil has caused it to be sub

depth. We can infer from
depth of strata overlying
coal seams that this state

and began to decay. Tho stou

How Good Farmer's Save their
Money.
They take good papers and
read them.
They keen an account of
farming operations.
They do not leave their farm'
nig implements scattered over
the field, exposed to the rain,
heat and snow.
They repair their tools and
buildings at the proper time,
and do not suffer subsequently
three-fold expenditure of time
and money.
They use their money judi
ciously, and do not attend auc
tion sales to purchase all kinds
of trumpery because it is cheap.
They always see that their
fences are well repaired, and
that their cattle are not grazing
in the meadows, or grain fields,
or orchards.
They do not refuse to make
correct experiments, in a small
way, of many new things.
They plant their fruit trees
well, and care well for them,
and, of course, get good crops.
They practice good economy
by giving their stock sufficient
shelter during the winter ; also
good food, taking all that is un
sound, half rotten or mouldy,
oft.
Successful farming is made
attending to little things
he farmer who does his best
earns his money with the best
ppreciation, and uses it with
the best results. Such men are
the salt of tho earth.
They do not keep a tribe of
cats, or snarling dogs around
the premises, which eat more
in a month than they are worth
in their life.
Lastly they read the adver
isements, and know what is

An Inland Sea that Never Gives Up
its Dead.
[From the San Francisco Bulletin.]
of

of
Some twelve or fourteen per
sons have been drowned in
Lake Tahoe within the past ten
years ; none of the bodies have
ever been recovered. Supersti
tion, ever ready to weave a
sentiment from Nature's laws,
assertod that there was a doubt
ful mystery in the non-recovery
of the drowned ; that, in fact, a
monster had its abode in this
fresh-water sea, and that the
bodies all passed into its capa
cious maw. The true explana
tion of this mystery never has
been given, llie non-appear
a
ancc of the bodies is due to
three causes. The first is, the
great purity of the water, and
its consequent lack ot buoyan
cy. Drowning is very easy in
it for this reason, though I have
not, while swimming in it, found
any moro than ordinary dim
culty in sustaining myself. The
second and main cause is due
o the great coldness of the wa
ter. liven at this, the warmest
season, the surface water is as
cold as the drinker desires
to be, but it is warm there com
pared with its temperature a
tho depth of one hundred
two hundred feet. It is as cold
there as the arctic heat of an
iceberg. When a body sinks
in the lake to the depth re
quired, it is frozen stiff. The
process, of course, preserves it.
so that the gas which originates
from decay in other water
prevented, and distension
checked. Tho body is thus
kept in a state of greater spe
cific gravity than the water
which it is suspended, and
thereby prevented lrom rising
to the surface. The third cause
lies in the great pressure of the
pure water on anything whic
is sunk to a great depth in
Corks placed in deep sea-nets
are pressed down in a week
half their size ; and one of the
oldest residents of the lake ex
presses the belief that, by
time a man's body has been
suspended for a week at a dept
of about two hundred feet (it
not likely that it ever reaches
the cavernous and almost fath
omless bottom of the great lake)
the compression of the water
has reduced its size to that of
child's. Doubtless the idea
uncotlined suspension in such
"world of water" is not a pleas
ant ono to contemplate; but
be pressed into a solid mass,
and suspended in a liquid coffin
of ice temperature, is quite
pleasant as interment and mol
